IMPACT ON SOCIETY

      Virtual surgery plays a huge roll in our society today; For example, the fact that humans are now allowed to look at a computer graphic screen and virtually modify a problem that is occurring inside of the human body is amazing and also gives people hope for a cleaner, safer surgery. The process of virtual surgery is quite complex. First, scientists take a photograph of the patient’s hard and soft tissue. Then they bond the photos together creating an overlapping photograph of the hard and soft tissue.

 

          

 


After the photo is turned into 3-D design, the doctor figures out the dos and don’ts of the surgery that will be taking place. 

          The impact that virtual surgery has made on surgeons today is that it has made it easier for the surgeon to understand the steps that will happen during the surgery. Also, this quick way of surgery will allow patients to have a shorter stay when they visit the hospital, due to the fact that virtual surgery has helped them in a quick and easy way. Although there are many positives said about virtual surgery, there are also some negatives to this project. Yes, some people may say that this new way of surgery is the best. It is at the same time difficult for some surgeons to learn. In order for the surgeon to learn he or she must take an assisting course to prepare them for the real virtual surgery. In this case, some surgeons take longer to learn the method which makes it difficult for them to move on. Virtual surgeries impact on society has changed many lives and hopefully this method can continue to do so.

        The impact that Virtual and Robotic surgery will have in health care will skyrocket in the next decade. For example; the da Vinci surgical system relies on the use of virtual and robotic technologies to carry out procedures. Although the da Vinci has it’s positive impacts, the fact that the technology they use costs over 1 million dollars could prevent hospitals from being able to afford this surgical system.
